I'll do anything for her and for years upon years, I've been promising and promising that I was going to marry her so, this is the moment."
A Private Relationship Goes Public
Bolt and Bennett began dating in 2013 and kept their relationship private before going public. They have three children together: daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt, born in 2020, and twin sons Thunder Bolt and Saint Leo Bolt, born in 2021. The couple's decision to keep their relationship private until recently suggests that they value their personal lives.
A Moment to Remember
The proposal was a special moment for the couple, with Bennett appearing shocked as Bolt got down on one knee. The unsuspecting Bennett was surrounded by family and friends, who were all excitedly cheering her on. Bruno Mars' song "Marry You" played in the background as the couple shared an excited embrace.
A New Chapter
Usain Bolt's proposal to Kasi Bennett marks a new chapter in their relationship. The couple will now be preparing for their wedding, which will likely be a grand affair given their high-profile status. With three children already, they are well-equipped to start their new life together.
